Here’s how the PowerEdge R820 result looks against other top 1TB single-node results:

The PowerEdge R820 packs four Intel Xeon E5-4600 processors into just 2U of rack space. The 8-processor HP ProLiant DL980 G7 requires 8U, 4X the rack space, and only delivered half of the performance of the R820!

The SPARC Enterprise M8000 used 16 SPARC64 processors and requires a full cabinet of rack space; the 2U PowerEdge R820 outperformed it by over 2X!

Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is how the R820 stacks (racks?) against these results from a rack height (U) perspective:

As you can see, the Dell PowerEdge R820 is a great choice for handling large databases, reaching performance levels previous only achievable by much larger servers.
